Answer:

C. Bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics.

Explanation:

superbugs - strains of bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that are resistant to most of the antibiotics and other medications commonly used to treat the infections they cause. A few examples of superbugs include resistant bacteria that can cause pneumonia, urinary tract infections and skin infections.

Drug resistance is naturally occurring and can be slowed, but not stopped.

Hope this helps!

It is a disease characterized by the multiple cysts in the kidney as implied by the name.

C) Cystitis

It is defined as the infection of urinary bladder.

D) Dysuria

It is defined as painful urination. It can be due to infection or other underlying disease.

E) Epispadias

It is a congenital disease characterized by an abnormal urethral opening on the ventral surface of penis. It is much less common than hypospadias.

If a reptile temperature gets to low what does it need to do

Inga [223]

Reptiles require external heat to thermoregulate. If a reptile's temperature gets too low, it will need to find a source of heat to raise its body temperature. In the wild, most reptiles do this by basking in the sun. In captivity, heat lights, heating pad, and other heat sources are provided to allow them to thermoregulate.

Can you identify the supergroups to which these protists belong?

uranmaximum [27]

Protists and Supergroups

Diatoms – SAR - Stramenopila

Foraminiferans – SAR - Rhizaria

Plasmodial slime molds - Unikonta - Amoebazoans

Trichomonas vaginalis - Excavata - Parabasalids

Giardia intestinalis - Excavata - Diplomonads

Dinoflagellates - SAR - Alveolata

Green algae - Archaeplastida- Chlorophytes

Brown algae - SAR-Stramenopila

Explanation:

Protists are the simplest eukaryotes. Due to their vast diversity of species, they are broadly divided into four supergroups or the clades. They are the Archaeplastida, Excavata, SAR clade, and Unikonta.

Archaeplastida: Interrelated with DNA sequence, cell structure, and endosymbiotic relationships. Divided into red algae, chlorophytes, charophyceans, and the plants. Eg, red algae, green algae, plants.

Excavata: Protists with cytoskeletal features like excavated grooves. This clade includes diplomonads, parabasalids, euglenozoans. Eg., Trichomonas and Giardia species

SAR: Protists interrelated with their DNA sequences and endosymbiotic relationships. Further divided into alveolata, stramenopila, and rhizaria. Eg., diatoms, dinoflagellates

Unikonta: Protists with flagella like structures, pseudopodia, genes fused together. Divided into amoebozoans and opisthokonts. These include slime molds, fungi, entamoebas, animals etc.
